Efficient generation of bispecific IgG antibodies by split intein mediated protein trans-splicing system

Abstract Many methods have been developed to produce bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) for industrial application. However, huge challenges still remain in synthesizing whole length BsAbs, including their assembly, stability, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics. Here we present for first time a generic...
